Abstract
The report presents main assumptions on the design of the neutron pinhole camera dedicated to the PF-24 (Plasma Focus) device. The pinhole camera will be used for the investigation of the spatial and temporal distributions of DD neutrons from the PF-24 source. It makes use of principles of the optical geometry adopted for neutron imaging. In the report the evaluation of pinhole geometrical layout has been made on the basis of principles of the geometrical optics. A further optimization of the pinhole geometry has been carried out by means of neutron transport calculations (the MCNP code). The main aim of this report is to provide information on technical solutions for the neutron pinhole.
